A recovered Roy Hodgson returned to the Crystal Palace dugout today but will have spent much of his Saturday afternoon wondering why he bothered.
Hodgson, 76, missed last week’s defeat at Aston Villa with illness, and even had to listen to the game on the radio after failing to work a web link to watch it sent by the club.
He was back on the touchline to see his side play out a stalemate with his former side Fulham, in a match were entertainment was frankly hard to come by.
